What an adorable little spot near the growers market! Had an excellent burger and two cocktails on a Friday night with the hubs. Close to Ex Novo for dessert after if you need a sweet treat! read more

Brunch at DWTNR was a total win! From the first sip to the last bite, everything was absolutely delicious -- and yes, the cocktails definitely deserve their own shoutout. Big bonus points to our server, Noah, who was amazing -- super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel easy and fun. If you're looking for a go-to brunch spot with great vibes, great drinks, and even better service, this is it. Already planning my next visit! read more

Great renovation! This spot feels like something from another state. Food was amazing. Hard to find a good burger in ABQ. Churro French toast was good with ice cream on top. & the breakfast burrito was very good, eggs were flavorful and not overcooked like everywhere else here. Tortilla tasted like one from Cali. Service lacked just a bit but staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back! read more

Located in the recently renovated hotel Arrive, DWNTNR is part of the downtown revival in the city. The vibe was vintage with elegance. The jukebox played a wide range of music. Our server was quite honest with her recommendations and fast with her service. We chose a little get together for a colleague holiday celebration. So food and drinks needed to happen. For food we got the disco fries, which did not succumb to the wet ingredients and remained crunchy on the outside. The grilled chichitos had a few spicy exemplars but the rest were tolerable, with a lime aioli that made them pop. The chips and green chile queso were decent. The carne adobada was tender and easy to shred with good flavor. The Korean chicken and waffles were mine. They looked special and exciting. The gochujang maple sauce was interesting but it lacked sweetness and spicy. It was a very tame flavor. The chicken was very crispy on the outside but not too moist on the inside, making that cut into the chicken pieces quite tricky. The waffle was ok. Our drinks, however, were stellar heroes for the night. The hot cocoa with rum was warm, sweet, delicious, and full of whipped cream sprinkled with cinnamon powder. It was a very rummy and wintery drink. The desperado was quite summery, for a big contrast from the hot cocoa. It was crisp, fresh, and a bit sour like a good tepache. And last but not least, the meat & potato man was a powerful and surprising drink, as it was small but full of different flavors that worked together like magic. Overall, I'd recommend the drinks, ambiance, and service at this place. The food, needs more work to match the flavors and quality of their drinks. read more

DWTNR is a very charming spot to stop in for a brunch, with a nice inventive menu. I went with a group of 6 and we were seated quickly, and half of our group had our eyes drawn to the same thing on the menu: the hash brown chilaquiles! It looked incredible, so many of us went for it. I went halfsies with a friend and also shared the breakfast burrito. The hash brown chilaquiles was shockingly salty. Like incredibly, painfully salty. The whole table was in consensus. I'm not sure if we visited on an off day, but we couldn't figure it out. It seemed to be the carrot salsa that was the culprit, but it impacted the entire dish. In comparison, the breakfast burrito was much more enjoyable to eat. The service was good and the environment was pleasant to spend the morning. read more

Cute restaurant + patio bar spot inside the new ARRIVE Albuquerque hotel. I dropped in twice during my two-night stay. We ordered a salted coffee drink (made with cold brew) and worked on our laptops on the patio facing the pool. Our server was great, always checking in. Second visit, we dropped in again for some margarita mocktails and their fries dusted with red chilis. And we added a trio of dips: ranch, ketchup, and aioli. Aoili was my favorite. read more

A unique space. It's a good spot to meet up with friends occasionally or maybe a first afternoon date. A little pricey for the quality of food. Our service was slow and the restaurant wasn't busy. read more

I never visited the space when it was whatever it was before now. And all my time living in Albuquerque (about 10 years+) it has always just been abandoned hotel. They have done an absolutely gorgeous job with the room remodel and I cannot wait to see what this space will get used for. I came with some friends on Sunday to enjoy the patio and check out their brunch offerings. I'm writing this review and giving them a lot of slack because it is a brand new space and I know that they have kinks to work out. There are a few things including every single drink we were served was spilled and they absolutely are working on figuring out their coffee machine, but still overall I was impressed. Again, the remodel looks so good. I totally want to check out their stunning pool. The menu was creative and has kind of a unique feel to it. I would almost describe. It is like Asian inspired urban cowboy. We tried a few different things, including the chicken sando and a cocktail. Everything was really good. I did order a pistachio coffee and it was not great at all, but they were kind enough to take it off the check. I love a good brunch spot and I imagine this place is about to get pretty poppin. So pop off and welcome to downtown! read more

DWTNR Bar & Restaurant - Queso - Bars Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We stopped in during happy hour on our way home from a show this weekend. It was nice to find somewhere with happy hour specials on Sunday! We liked the bar's retro vibe. I had the cocktail special, a prickly pear margarita (very good) and my husband had the Desperado, made with rum and tepache (delicious). We split an order of chips and queso, which was made with green chiles and Velveeta. It was good, and the Velveeta fits with the retro theme, but I think it would be better with real cheese. They still have a few kinks to work out service-wise. It took a while for our server to get to us, they forgot to bring my husband's drink and then brought one he didn't order. But they served him the right thing quickly and comped us for the mistake. They were very friendly and helpful, and glitches are certainly understandable in a new space. We enjoyed our time at DWNTNR and will return. read more

We came to check out the new bar. It was okay. The happy hour cocktail was a vodka gimlet. It tasted fine, but not sure I would order it again. We ordered the shishito peppers, they were good, I would have preferred them a little more blistered, but still good. We also ordered the queso and chips. Surprisingly they were not good. They use blue corns chips, which is great, but the queso was pretty bland. Also they served the queso and chips in a soup bowl. It was strange. The server was nice enough, but maybe new. The place looks cool. Lots of big tables for larger parties. Glad we came, but not sure we will be back. read more

Came for dinner, and did not leave disappointed. Grilled Shishito Peppers - 5/5 The best I've had, anywhere. Perfectly charred and well-complimented by the citric smoothness of the lime aioli. Potstickers - 3/5 Solid and well-executed, but not as stand-out as the rest of the menu. A bit overpriced at $14. Coconut Shrimp Toast - 5/5 A tasty and inventive take on shrimp toast. Garnished with basil leaves. Popcorn Shrimp - 5/5 A small portion, but each bite is positively divine. Char Siu Ribs - 5/5 Five spice sauced ribs, served with Chinese hot mustard and collard greens. The ribs themselves were excellent, and well-complimented by the mustard. The collard greens universally unloved, but the rest of the dish was so good that it didn't impact our experience much. Whole Chicken Teriyaki - 4/5 A whole chicken, deboned, teriyaki glazed and served over hainan rice. Suitable for sharing with 3 people. The chicken was good, but the rice really steals the show. Since the sauce is glazed on the skin alone, the meat did end up a little plain. Still, a fun dish to family-style. Service - 4/5 Excellent servers, but the supplies were a bit overwhelmed on a busy night. The restaurant was short on both silverware and menus. An easily fixable problem. read more

This is a fun restaurant but it didn't wow me. They have a limited menu options. The drinks are strong so you really only need one. The slushee cocktail drink is so strong and not very sweet which is what I like and the size is very small. The match drink is creamy with coconut very different from what I drink. It was a little grainy but the presentation of it was cute. The green chilly burgers taste like an upscaled fast food burger. The service was nice as they let us in without a reservation and the drinks and food came fairly fast. read more

Had the chicken Asian salad and it was flavorful and fresh! The update vibe is high and vintage which I love! The cocktail menu is bright and fun and the staff were friendly and inviting! Can't wait for cocktails by the pool this summer! read more

Had the BEST lunch with friends at the Downtowner inside the Arrive Hotel! I ordered the breakfast burrito (subbed bacon for avocado) smothered in red and green chile--aka Christmas--and WOW. The presentation was beautiful and the flavor was truly next level. We kicked things off with their Churro French Toast, and honestly it might be one of the most incredible breakfast appetizers I've ever had. Soft milk bread, cinnamon-sugar crunch, topped with vanilla ice cream... absolutely mind-blowing. Our server, Rose, was wonderful--warm, attentive, and on top of every detail. She kept the hot water coming for my tea and made sure we had everything we needed the entire meal. My friends ordered the smashburger with fries and the teriyaki chicken bowl, and everyone left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommend checking this spot out! read more

First visit to the remodeled property after YEARS of not returning downtown due to the safety/cleanliness aspect; it appears the city is trying to clean up the area but the park still has homeless leaving trash right across from the entrance of the hotel. You still have to pay for parking if you are local and the parking police is all over it. Needless to say, once we got inside the property it is lovely. Tabitha the sales manager gave us a tour of the rooms on the top floor. I would stay there and my standards are high, however, the service is very slow in the restaurant. Drinks were good-happy hr especially, 3-6 M-F. Burger is a deal at happy hr and decent. read more

The waitress was attentive and friendly, engaging in pleasant small talk without being overbearing. We asked for drink recommendations and opted for the pineapple mimosa, which was strong yet delightful. For our meal, we tried the hash brown chilaquiles, which were quite delicious. The salsa had a unique flavor with a slight pickled taste, but all the elements combined beautifully. I will be back & will recommend to others. read more

We were staying at the hotel for the night and I was very happy to hear there was a restaurant. Super cute aesthetics all around! Servers were SO nice but they did get a bit slammed shortly after we arrived. There were two walking around! Maybe one more would help. Food and drinks were delicious.. I was just bummed I only got one tostada for $17. Great tasting but was steep to pay for. read more

Had the most AMAZING meal here!!!! The chef was incredible, and clearly very well versed in the culinary world. Creative and delicious spin offs of classic New Mexico dishes as well as new fusion styles. Also, the aesthetic and vibe is so cute! Great for a date night, or a coffee hang out spot. I'm looking forward to coming back in the Spring and Summer to hang out at the Zia pool with a drink in hand ! HIGHLY recommend this new and upcoming spot and suggest you visit now...they are certain to blow up soon so get your reservations while you can. read more

I have been here multiple times and the service was great, food was amazing, drinks were delicious. But I went tonight and was refused to be sat by a short woman with glasses. She told my friend and I that we could not be sat without a reservation, after a couple of 2 WITHOUT a reservation were sat right before us and there were plenty of open seats. She looked us up and down and sneered with a disgusted look on our face, like we were not worthy of being there. Really disappointed and upset by this interaction. read more

Beside completely empty the server didn't care that we were there not welcoming at all. The food was terrible we tried the chilaquiles hash brown was good the carrot salsa was throw up disgusting disgusting I can't get it out of my mouth gross. Ruined the whole dish. Took 24 dollars to add bacon avocado and red chili to it and it still didn't help. They don't ask how u want the eggs and they came out Sunnyside up. A very small percentage of people actually eat sunny side up eggs again disgusting. We also tried the churro French toast sounded like a good idea. They offered on the lunch menu as well. Also, gross didn't smell. Didn't taste like a churro. the ice cream was OK the one piece of French toast costed over $14 and it was so soggy in the middle coffee was horrible. First she sold us cold coffee and it was extremely bitter then she gave me a fresh cup and it was OK but the colder it got the more bitter. It got typically I like hotel coffee this is disgusting. It got renovated recently. Looks old. I was not impressed nor will I ever go back. read more

Nothing to write home about. The spirited slushie I had was fun but a little too sweet and sour. That was my favorite part of the restaurant. The brunch looked good. Our waitress was a little clueless when it came to the menu items but she was nice and attentive enough. Nice, relaxing music that was not too loud. Food wasn't remarkable but it was just fine. Wouldn't go back unless we stay at the hotel again. read more

Always a good time, mostly come for happy hour most Fridays. Ben is super kind and attentive ! Will be back again

Drinks were yummy, food was good, service by Ben was great! Will definitely be back :)

The best happy hour in downtown. Classy, contemporary (but still warm and welcoming) ambiance with friendly staff. Delicious, affordable treats on the happy hour menu (including grilled shishito peppers with gourmet aioli, crunchy tacos with house-made hot sauce, Chinese-inspired char siu ribs (with an herby twist), fresh burgers and fries. Their cocktails are unique and they even have a special frosty cocktail blend each night. The happy hour wines are excellent for the price. Service is fast, friendly and there's even a free Marshall amp style jukebox with eclectic albums. Kristina is my favorite bartender/manager. She's friendly, fun and charming and always has great recommendations. They are able to open a beautiful, folding glass wall panel, which allows Dwtnr to be partially open air, for patio and poolside hang outs. There's also a gated patio. read more

Bravo!! Everything about DWTNR is a win- we ordered almost everything on the menu at dinner and then ordered seconds (the shrimp toast is out of this world ).

Super fun for afternoon cocktails . Happy Hour menu is amazing. We are locals so this was a pleasant surprise.
